March 1 (SeeNews) - Croatian mineral fertiliser producer Petrokemija said on Wednesday that it has restarted its manufacturing plants after a pause of almost a year.
“Following several days of preparations, we have restarted the energy plants, Nitric Acid Plant 1 and NPK Plant. It is planned to manufacture 4,000 tonnes of nitric acid by March 9, and 14,000 tonnes of NPK 15-15-15 fertilizer by March 23,” Petrokemija said in a press release.
Further production, as well as a restart of the Ammonia Plant are continuously re-examined and a decision will be made based on market conditions, the company said.
Currently, Petrokemija is able to meet the demand on the domestic fertilizer market with its own output as well as with imported products, it added.
According to Croatian media reports from November, Turkish holding company Yildirim wanted Croatian mineral fertiliser producer Petrokemija, which it is acquiring, to resume production in the first quarter of 2023.
